When was the last time you heard players needing to drink tons of coffee and other caffeinated beverages to stay awake during Friday meetings?

They don't need to say it...it IS an issue regardless of whether they want to say it or not. Science has proven this many times over. You disrupt the body's internal rhythms and you are simply just "off". You don't really know why or have an explanation, you just are. The effects are different from person to person...some will be effected much more than others. "Jet lag can negatively affect athletic performance, especially when traveling across multiple time zones. It is caused by the misalignment of the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) with the local time at the destination, leading to symptoms such as sleep disruptions, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and altered mood. Athletes may experience a decline in cognitive and physical performance due to jet lag. Physiological parameters like heart rate, ventilation, and blood lactate, as well as direct measures of physical performance like peak muscle force, anaerobic power output, and vertical jump, are associated with circadian rhythms"

No wonder why he looked so terrible whenever he got into a game...he literally had no idea what was going on. How is it possible for a player to get to the NFL and then not want to do everything in their power to be the best they can be? https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mike-mcdaniel-confirmed-johnny-manziel-122649332.html

Does it really matter? The Giants scored 6 offensive points against Miami yesterday against a defense we torched for 48. And 3 of those came off a Tua INT that had them in FG range.

I didn't think the coverage was that bad at times...I think the coaching staff put themselves in that spot by not getting him enough work in real games...I think as the year goes on he will improve as he did last year...

Not a great look that the Bills put Ja'Marcus Ingram in there instead of Elam late in the game and McD when asked if Elam was hurt said "no, we just wanted to get a look a t some other players." Which in coach speak says "He was sucking so bad that we would rather have a UFA practice squad player in there instead of our 1st round pick from last year." Ingram promptly missed an easy tackle in the hole on Etienne which allowed him to score on that 35 yard run.

Dak is imploding

According to science and from many other teams that have tried this in all sports, it would not have been it would have been worse.

They were top 5 last year and the year before in terms of least players lost to man games. People simply don't watch enough other games or follow enough other teams to know how many players are out for other teams...it's typically far more than the Bills.

Unfortunately flying 2 weeks ahead of time wasn't an option. They took the next best one according to science.

The Bills have literally been the least injured team in the NFL by a WIDE MARGIN and in the top 5 every year in terms of man games lost to injury since McD has been here. Get a clue

The science says it's either 2 weeks before or right before.

Cousins...SMFH.

Davis needed to catch the ball instead of dropping it that would have been a first down.

That was crazy...not only do they pick up the flag, the official told the player to put his helmet back on instead of flagging him for it!

C'mon...KC getting gifts

Should have been a bullet throw rather than a lob.

It was also an experiment to see if the Jags could play in London while their stadium is being built.

Agree...lots of online options

Kelce looks like he might be dealing with a serious injury...

All the games I've watched have been a penalty fest...WTF is going on?

Lawrence said the grass isn't the same over there as it is in the US because it is made for the ball to roll on while playing soccer and is much slicker.

LMAO...he looked better than Tua

Would not take much out of this game especially with the travel and time difference. He didn't play lights out but he didn't get much help either.

Yes because the Jags are building a new stadium and the NFL wants to see if it is plausible for the Jags to play home games in London while staying there for either the entire first half or back half of their schedule. Ie, how big of an advantage would it be for the Jags to play all 8-9 home games there in a row at once, then play all their road games? As he saw after only one week of them being there, a pretty big advantage.
